Gardeners' Notes:

Snowball (there are several strains) is an early (65 days) open pollinated cauliflower. Heading is more erratic in time and size than the hybrid cultivars, nor does it tolerate stress very well. Other than the late season "Purple" cauliflower it is the best OP that I have tried. Like all white cauliflower the heads must be covered when forming.(pull the leaves together and put a rubber band on them.) Relatively easy to grow in the early spring as they will not tolerate hot weather.
